New_Thumb
The market opened with a strong bullish sentiment, driven by investor confidence, and continued to gain momentum throughout the trading session.

As of midday trading, the KSE-100 Index had surged by 1,202 points, reaching 81,663 points. This marks a notable recovery for the market, which had been hovering below the 80,000-point threshold for the past two months and 10 days.

The rally began right from the start of the business day, with the index initially climbing by 705 points to reach 81,166 points. The upward trajectory continued as the session progressed, with the index gaining an additional 1,094 points, ultimately closing at 81,555 points.

This positive trend comes as Pakistan’s economy received a welcome boost, with the country's current account recording a surplus of $75 million in August. This reversal of fortunes is attributed to the record increase in remittances from overseas Pakistanis.

According to data released by the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP), the current account deficit in July stood at $246 million, making the August surplus a remarkable turnaround. This development is expected to bring stability to Pakistan's economy.
